History of Abundant Grace of God
Maternity
Georgia (Gilliland) Macad is a Certified Professional Midwife. Her family have been in the province of Kalinga in the northern Philippines since 2007, providing families with maternity care.
The isolated province of Kalinga, an area still plagued with tribal wars and poverty, is one of the most beautiful and untouched areas in the Philippines. The people have historically had little to no access to medical care. In fact, before most of the pregnant women delivered their babies at home on their own, without any prior prenatal care or attending doctor or midwife. Many of these women and babies died due to complications that would have been easily preventable with adequate care from a qualified midwife.
​
In 2007, Georgia, her husband Achao together along with some young local women wanting to study midwifery, set up a maternity clinic to serve the tribal peoples of Kalinga. It was opened in February 2007 and almost 4000 babies have been delivered and over 50 local midwives have been trained.
